Breaking news: The board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has voted to rename the storied arts institution the “Trump-Kennedy Center,” according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

1986 - "Stand by Me"
1987 - "The Princess Bride"
1989 - "When Harry Met Sally..."
1990 - "Misery"
1992 - "A Few Good Men"

Just ordered this incredible box set direct from @BigHenrys — can’t wait! Actually knowingly paid more than I would have from that online store named for the world’s largest rainforest. Support small businesses. @antonesrecordshop.com

The Yankees had the bases loaded with no outs and the 2-3-4 hitters due up in the sixth, and scored one run. The Blue Jays had the bases loaded with one out and the 2-3-4 hitters due up in the seventh, and have scored three runs and counting. That's the game right there.

Roberto Clemente. Baseball’s last hero.
On this day in 1934, Roberto Clemente was born in Barrio San Antón in Carolina, Puerto Rico. Perhaps the most important ballplayer in Latin American history, the quality of his play was only surpassed by the quality of his character. Here’s my painting of him during the 1972 season.
